Publisher Description

One of the American Library Association's Top 10 Most Banned Books for the past two years, this award-winning coming-of-age novel takes readers into the heart and humor of a young man determined to achieve the ever-changing American dream. He just happens to find himself along the way.

“Mike Muñoz Is a Holden Caulfield for a New Millennium.” --The New York Times Book Review

For Mike Muñoz, life has been a whole lot of waiting for something to happen. Not too many years out of high school and still doing menial work--and just fired from his latest gig as a lawn boy on a landscaping crew--he’s smart enough to know that he’s got to be the one to shake things up if he’s ever going to change his life. But how? He’s not qualified for much of anything. He has no particular talents, although he is stellar at handling a lawn mower and wielding clipping shears. But now that career seems to be behind him. So what’s next for Mike Muñoz?

Funny, biting, sweet, and ultimately inspiring novel, bestselling author Jonathan Evison's coming-of-age novel evokes the lives of working class people with compassion and honesty.

Brad from Austin ,

Loved every page

One of my favorite novels ever. The voice and writing are on point. Ten out of ten, no notes. I had never heard of this author and bought it on sale. I discovered it’s one of those books with a marketing Catch 22. I told some friends about it. When they read the blurb they said “Nah, I’m good,” because the blurb leaves a crucial aspect out. To reveal this aspect would ruin the thrill of the book for a certain demographic, of which I am a part. To get anyone to read it I would have to tell them why they would love it. But to tell them why would rob them of the thrill.
